Proud of our Shepherds

I’m not sure about you, but I for one am very proud of our bishops for standing up for our Catholic faith. Here’re a few examples in just the last day or two of various bishops saying enough is enough with this idea that protecting life is equal, or less important than, the stock market, housing, the war, etc. Certainly these are important things, but are they more important than the taking of life? How many people feel my parents should be able to seize my home? My 401(k)? Why can parents choose to take their children’s life?

Whoops, got on a soap box there. Back to our bishops:

Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton, PA showed up, uninvited, to one of his parishes last Sunday and crashed a forum discussing the USCCB’s Faithful Citizen document. The point of the forum? To discuss how it could be interpreted to read that voting for a pro-abortion candidate is fine. This put a damper on the pro-choice mood of the event to say the least. Not only did Bishop Martino let them know that this is a mischaracterization of the document, he also has release the video available below:

Elden F. Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha, NE, has released a letter to be “made available” to all people in his archdiocese this weekend. The archbishop quotes Mother Theresa as saying:

"abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships ... It has portrayed the greatest of gifts - a child - as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience" (Letter to US Supreme Court, February, 1994).

No comments:

In addition, we comment on current events from a Catholic perspective, post audio recordings of Dan's RCIA talks, and have spoken to hundreds of teens about chastity and God's calling for them.

We'd love to hear from you if you have any questions, need someone to speak to teens about chastity, or need a speaker on the Sacraments, Saints & Mary, Scripture, or nearly any other Catholic topic. Drop us a line at questions@tadaministries.com. We’d love to hear from you! Specific information about speaking can be found here.
